Thank you, Karmagirl, for your kind and encouraging words. What a beautiful person you must be to be able to share such thoughts with others!
Do you mind if I say something? I would encourage you not to think in terms of a "whole person to lose"...using this sort of terminology somehow makes the idea of the weight loss seem like a sort of a death...and maybe to some extent it is...it's worth looking at, though, in terms of what weight loss may really mean to our unconscious....does it perhaps mean that we think of our weight loss as in some way our own death? Or is it the death of this unknown--but, oh so intimate--person you feel is with you all the time? I mean no offense at all...it's just that that phrase really started me thinking about the way we talk about stuff like loosing weight and what we might really be saying to ourselves....
Blessings to you,
suji
